OA Funds

OA Journal Publication Funds

Many of the world’s most prestigious research institutions have also stepped forward and introduced policies that mandate or strongly encourage open access to the work of their scholars.  Check to see if your institution has set up a fund to pay for publication fees.

  1. Open Access Directory: Open Access Journal Funds
  2. Compact for OA Access Publishing Equity
  3. SPARC Publication Fund Listing
  4. Wellcome Trust open access Funding

Please check with each funders policy for the launch dates, end dates (if any), special criteria, funding limits or cost-ceilings, and other notable features.

If your institution doesn’t have a publication go to your institutions library and ask them to set one up! You can use this document to assist you:  SPARC’s Guide to setting up an OA Publication Fund.
